Abstract: The principle of the turbine is by no means a new and novel concept. The turbine was used in many ancient civilizations to perform useful work. The application of the turbine principle as a device for sensing the velocity of a fluid stream also dates back many years. Although the turbine meter has been used for many years as a primary sensing element, it was not until recently with the introduction of new bearing materials, solid state electronics and the computer age that the turbine flow meter has come into its own, The heart of the turbine meter is the bearings and until materials such as tungsten carbide were applied as bearing materials, the turbine meter was limited to measuring clean fluids which had relatively good lubricating characteristics. With the advent of tungsten carbide and other similar bearing materials, the door was opened to use the turbine meter in fluids carrying particles in suspension, non-lubricating fluids, slurries and many other types.
